  • Philosophy 267 Fall, 2010 Professor Richard Arneson Introductory Handout Revised 11/09 Class Meets Tuesdays 1-4 in the Department Seminar Room
    1 Philosophy 267 Fall, 2010 Professor Richard Arneson Introductory Handout revised 11/09 Class meets Tuesdays 1-4 in the Department seminar room. My email: [email protected] This course considers some philosophical arguments concerning the justification of the claim that under modern conditions, the political order of a society ought to be democratic. Next question: how democratic ought the political order to be, and what determines the normatively appropriate degree of democracy in particular circumstances. Following David Estlund, let us say a state is legitimate if it issues commands (laws, public policies) and enforces them and does so permissibly, and a state has authority if it has the moral power to issue commands (laws, public policies) to its subjects and thereby to bring it about that those commanded have some moral obligation to comply. Under modern conditions, must a state be democratic in order to rule legitimately and with authority? Texts: Joshua Cohen, Rousseau: A Free Community of Equals; David Estlund, Democratic Authority: A Philosophical Framework. J. S. Mill’s Considerations on Representative Government is available on line at www.utilitarianism.net/jsmill/ Jason Brennan’s forthcoming book the Ethics of Voting will be made available by email attachment. Some other readings will be made available by email attachment or in printed copies to be placed in the Philosophy Department Library or both. Note that the reading for weeks 1 and 2 includes Rousseau’s The Social Contract, which is neither a book placed on the shelves of the bookstore for this class nor specially made available in the Department Library.

  • On the Messy “Utopophobia Vs Factophobia” Controversy: a Systematization and Assessment∗
    On the Messy “Utopophobia vs Factophobia” Controversy: A Systematization and Assessment∗ Laura Valentini London School of Economics and Political Science For citations, please refer to the published version. In recent years, political philosophers have been fiercely arguing over the virtues and vices of utopian vs realistic theorizing. Partly due to the lack of a common and consistently used vocabulary, these debates have become rather confusing. In this chapter, I attempt to bring some clarity to them and, in doing so, I offer a conciliatory perspective on the “utopian vs realistic theorizing” controversy. I argue that, once the notion of a normative or evaluative theory is clearly defined and distinguished from the desiderata that any good theory should satisfy, many of the disagreements between supporters and opponents of “utopian” or “ideal” theorizing can be easily dissolved. I conclude that, in general, political philosophers should be cautious when theorizing at the extreme ends of the “utopian-realistic” spectrum, but that, setting extremes aside, the correct level of realism or idealism depends on the particular question a theory aims to address. Keywords: Ideal theory, non-ideal theory, utopianism, realism, idealisations, fact- insensitivity, feasibility. Introduction David Estlund (2008, chap. 14; 2011; 2014) has recently argued against an attitude in political philosophy he calls “utopophobia.” Utopophobes, in Estlund’s understanding, problematically compromise normative principles in order to accommodate empirical realities. If it turns out that people are unlikely to conform with what morality requires, utopophobes let them off the moral hook. While Estlund worries about utopophobia, other political philosophers are concerned about an altogether different pathology within the discipline: what one might call “factophobia.” By “factophobia,” I mean the tendency to elaborate normative principles under deeply counter-factual assumptions.

  • Why Not Epistocracy
    Why Not Epnstocracyf David Estlund I Introduction It is natural to think that the wise ought to rule, and yet it is now universally denied. One reason for this is that many people think that ruling arrangements ought to be justifiable in a generally acceptable way. Given so much reasonable dispute about who counts as wise in the right way, and other matters, it might seem doubtful that rule of the wise could meet this standard of generally acceptable justification. On the other hand, a decent education, including, say, some knowledge of politics, history, economics, close experience with others from di­ verse backgrounds, etc., must be admitted to improve the ability to rule wisely, other things equal, or at least assuming a certain measure of good will (otherwise these neutral means might only make a bad person more dangerous). But then why shouldn't there be general agreement that citizens with such an education should have more votes than others^ Is the only reason for this the assumption that whoever has more power will unjustly favor themselves^ Should we all accept rule of the wise if that condition were overcome^ If some political outcomes count as better than others, then surely some citizens are better (if only less bad) than others with regard to their wisdom and good faith in promoting the better outcomes. If so, this looks like an important reason to leave the decisions up to them. For purposes of this essay, call them the knowers, or the wise; the form of government in which they rule might be called epistocracy, and the rulers called epistocrats based on the Greek word episteme, meaning knowledge.

  • Authority, Legitimacy and Epistemic Accounts of Democratic Law
    Authority, Legitimacy and Epistemic Accounts of Democratic Law: Estlund vs. Habermas Jonathan Trejo-Mathys ABSTRACT: David Estlund has recently articulated the most sophisticated form of epistemic proceduralism available in Anglophone legal and political philosophy, one that grants that there are normative political truths and that some possess superior knowledge of them but defeats the claim that superior knowledge can successfully confer legislative authority. In the course of his argument, he charges Habermas’ rival version of proceduralism with ‘political nihilism’. The first two sections of this paper show that this charge is false and based upon a misunderstanding of Habermas and that it obscures the fact that Habermas provides a potentially stronger form of epistemic proceduralism that defeats the claim that those who know should rule by undermining the very idea that there could be some who possess superior normative political knowledge. The third section discusses a weak point in Habermas’ justification of coercive democratic law that is revealed in the course of the defense and suggests a Kantian way of remedying it. Trejo-Mathys 1 Epistemic Accounts of Democratic Authority and Legitimacy: Estlund vs. Habermas1 Epistemic views of democracy defend its legitimacy, or stronger, its authority in light of the epistemic virtues that the democratic process displays with respect to tracking some normative standard such as justice or the common good, however those are understood. They involve the belief that the truth about such matters, and in particular a sufficiently strong and effective tendency to pursue and discover it, is a necessary part of the justification of political authority and the legitimacy of the norms issued by such authority.

    Philosophy 2020 press.princeton.edu The World Philosophy Made How philosophy transformed human knowledge and the world we live in Philosophical investigation is the root of all human knowledge. Developing new concepts, reinterpreting old truths, and reconceptualizing fundamental questions, philosophy has progressed—and driven human progress—for more than two millennia. In short, we live in a world philosophy made. In this concise history of philosophy’s world-shaping impact, Scott Soames demonstrates that the modern world— including its science, technology, and politics—simply would not be possible without the accomplishments of philosophy. Firmly rebutting the misconception of philosophy as ivory-tower thinking, Soames traces its essential con- tributions to fields as diverse as law and logic, psychol- ogy and economics, relativity and rational decision theory. Beginning with the giants of ancient Greek philosophy, The World Philosophy Made chronicles the achievements of the great thinkers, from the medieval “Philosophy is everywhere, so much so that we and early modern eras to the present.

  • Liberal Associationism and the Rights of States*
    LIBERAL ASSOCIATIONISM AND THE RIGHTS OF STATES* By David Estlund I. Introduction Meet my neighbors, the Kazans. Stan and his wife Jan live together with their three grown children (one daughter and two sons) who are there until they can afford places of their own. They are a decent family, and they are friendly and cooperative with the rest of the neighborhood, although some of their practices trouble me and my other neighbors. Many of us do not approve of their sexist division of household labor, for one thing. The women do all the cooking (except grilling, of course) and cleaning while the men care for the yard and handle the finances. (The women seem to work harder.) Another thing that bothers me is that the parents are very hard on their kids, yelling at them and making unrea- sonable demands on their time. The parents also insist on the kids coming along to church every week, which obviously rankles the two kids who are nonbelievers. There is no abuse, and no one is kept against his or her will, nothing remotely like that. In fact, they seem to get along fine and to cooperate as willingly as any other family. Some of them are very close, others have some tension, pretty typical. For various economic and emo- tional reasons, it would be hard for any of them to leave and try to make it on their own at this time, but no one is stopping them. As I say, I am not the only neighbor who disapproves. In fact the town is considering a law, partly inspired by Stan Kazan and his clan.
